How to Create a Multiline String in Python

In this article, we show how to create a multiline string in Python.

So a multiline string is a string that spans multiple lines.

Normally when you're using a function such as the print() function,
you pass into it a one-line string, such as, print('hello world'). However, this doesn't have to be the
case. You may want to pass in a string that spans multiple lines (a multiline string).

In order to create a multiline string in Python, we use triple quotes
(''') to enclose the string. So we use a triple quote (''') as the opening string
and a triple quote (''') as the closing string.

In the following code below, we show an example of a multiline string
in Python.

So we've created a print function that has a multiline string in it. We
create it by enclosing the string in triple quotation marks.

With a multiline string passed into the print() function, each line
prints on its own line.

We then show this again but now we create a multiline string and pass
it into the variable, string1.
